Question

Mobility of electrons in a semiconductor is defined as the ratio of their drift velocity to the applied electric field. If, for an N -type semiconductor, the density of electrons is 10 19 m - 3 and their mobility is 1.6 m 2 V - 1 s - 1 , then the resistivity of the semiconductor (since it is an N -type semiconductor contribution of holes is ignored) is close to:
